a powder pulf having upon one side a facing of lambs wool or lthe like material, and having its other facelined with va suitable fabric to which a pocket is secured to rev l ceive a small mirror, the latter occupying a concentric relation to the powder puff when.

engaged insaid pocket.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a perspective view showing the rear or lined faceof the powder puff Fig. 2 is arear view of theinirror engage-- able with the powder puff ;4 y f Fig. 3 is a cross section view of the powder puff showing the mirror inserted in said pocket. Y

In these views the reference character A designates a circular piece of lambs wool, felt, or the like,'which provides the facing of the powder puff, and B vis-a circular lining for the rear Asurface of the article, said lining being formed of satin or of some other suitable fabric. A disk B of flannel or some other fairly heavy fabric is stitchedl against the inner face of the lining B to serve as a filler and give more body to the f powder puff. A piece of fabric @preferably ofthe same material as the lining, is

peripherally sewed to the latter and-forms a segmental pocket, somewhat greater than a semi-circle, in which may be inserted a small disk shaped mirror' D, said mirror having a fabric loop Evprojecting from the back thereof, and providing a finger grip to facilitate insertion or removal of said mirf ror in or from said pocket. vSaid pocket C has a hem internally formed at its upper edge within which a strip of elastic webbing C is extended across the pocket, said webbing Vbeing stretched by insertion of the mirror VD into the pocket and preventing said mirror coming out except in response to a mus-1 cular effort. That the height of the pocket` exceeds itsradius is an important feature of y the invention since the length of the inlet to the pocket is thus somewhat less than the diameter of the mirror which is proportioned to snugly fit the pocket, and the strip C must therefore be stretched in either in- I serting or removing the mirror.

it is preferred to roll the marginal portion of the member A to peripherally overlap the lining B and pocket C as indicated at E, the rolled portion being stitched to said lining as indicated at F. Thus a cir- Vcular depression is formed in the vrear face of the powder-puff by the, rollededge E, within which depression the mirror D .fits

snugly when engaged with the pocket C.

The described article facilitates the use of a powder puff by mounting upon the'latterf` a mirror, which maybe used to advantage in conjunction .with the powder puff. Alsoy when the powder puff is being used, and the mirror' D is removed fromv the pocket C, the

handled.

What I- claim as my Vinvention is:

l. A powder puff having afacing of soft` `,said pocket may be engaged by the fingers-l of the user, and the article thus convenientlyv j material, peripherally rolled jto overlap the f rear face of the article, a lining for said rear face arranged within a-depression formed` by 'said rolled portion of the. facing, and a pocket fora mirror secured 4to saidliningk within said depression.

2. A powder puif having a facing of soft material, and having a fabric lining for its rear face, and a segmental pocket secured to said lining, the peripheral portion of saidl l facing being rolled to marginally cover said l I rear face, and being stitchedtosaidlining s forming a circular depression within' which said pocket is located, and a disk shaped.

mirror insertible in said pocket and fitting snugly in said depression-when so inserted.v

v3. A powder pufl', yhavingal 'segmental pocket for a disk mirror, the heightv of said Apocket being greater than its radius and an elasticmember extending across the mouth of said pocket to retain themirror.

il. A powder puff having' va segmental Vpocket for a disk mirror, theh'eight of Said pocket exceeding its radius, and a hem-being formed interiorly of the rpocket extending across the mouth thereof, and an elastic strip within said hem secured at each side of the pocket'and serving to retain said mirror.

5. :A powder puifhaving upon one side a circular facing of soft material and cenxiio Y tiall'y provided upon its opposite side with pocket for a disk mirror, the height of lsaid a segmental pocket for receiving a disk min' pocket exceeding the radius theieof, and the roi', said pocket being shaped and propoi'- mouth of said pocket forming a chord of 10 tioned to restrain the mirror from accdenlength less than the diameter of the pocket. 5 tal disengagement in any position of the In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
